The New Mexico woman who sued El Paso University Medical Center for allegedly performing a cavity search without her consent has settled her lawsuit against the hospital and two of its physicians for $1.1 million, the American Civil Liberties Union announced today.

In December, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a suit against the county hospital on behalf of the woman identified as Jane Doe from Loving, N.M. The suit claimed that the woman, who was returning to the U.S. from Juárez at an international bridge in El Paso, was taken to the hospital and subjected to an inhumane search on Dec. 8, 2012. No drugs were found.

"Despite the trauma and humiliation endured by our client, she had the courage to step forward," Rebecca L. Robertson, legal and policy director for the ACLU of Texas, said in a news release.

"Because of her, the hospital has changed its policy to prevent this from happening to others. Now we hope that [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] will also take responsibility and stop subjecting innocent people to unconstitutional and abusive searches," she added.

In addition to UMC and emergency room physicians Drs. Michael Parsa and Christopher Cabanillas, the woman sued two undisclosed supervising U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and two other CBP officers identified only by their last names, Portillo and Herrera.

In April, UMC officials announced that the lawsuit had prompted major changes to the hospital's policies and procedures.
